You can have your incoming calls forwarded to a specified destination.
The following methods are available:
All Calls:
All calls are forwarded to a specified extension regardless of the status of your extension.
Busy/No Answer (BSY/NA):
All calls are forwarded to a specified extension when you do not answer within a specified time period
or when your extension is busy.
Follow Me (From):
If you fail to set the above-mentioned "All Calls" to forward before you leave your desk, you can set your
calls to be forwarded from the destination extension.
To Outside (CO) Line:
All calls are forwarded to an outside party if your extension is permitted through system programming.
The call duration is limited.
The FWD/DND button light shows the current status as follows:
Off: Neither feature is set.
Red on: Do Not Disturb (DND) mode
Flashing red slowly: Call Forwarding (FWD) mode
If a proprietary telephone (PT) user sets the FWD—Busy/No Answer feature, the FWD/
DND button light will keep flashing while on-hook. To stop the button from flashing, go off-
hook and enter "716#".
A call can only be automatically forwarded one time.
In the example below, extension A's calls are being forwarded to extension B. If extension
B tries to set FWD to extension C, the extension B user hears a reorder tone and the
setting is denied. If extension B has already set FWD to extension C, and extension A tries
to set FWD to extension B, the setting is also denied.
You can confirm the current FWD destination by pressing the FWD/DND button while on-
hook.
You can set the voice mail extension number as the FWD destination to receive calls into
your mailbox.
You can set the Built-in Voice Message (BV) feature number as the FWD destination to
receive calls into one of the voice message areas.
The destination of an extension's forwarded calls can call or transfer calls to the original
extension.
